SOPS + age encryption: every .env file on my server is encrypted

This post was originally shared on LinkedIn as part of my build-in-public series. I'm Jerome Jay Tuazon, a fractional IT consultant helping Canadian businesses automate their operations through n8n, AI, and modern tooling. This 36-word post covers what I learned recently - I'm expanding it here with more context.


I have 14 services running on one server. Every single one has database passwords, API keys, and credentials in environment files. The thought of those sitting as plain text on disk kept me up at night.


Want automation like this for your business?

I help Canadian businesses cut manual work and ship faster using n8n workflows, AI tooling, and lean B2B systems.

  • Workflow automation starting at $100
  • Fractional IT consulting for SMBs
  • Canadian-first, async-friendly
